Answer:

y = 3x + 3

Explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m =
(y_(2)-y_(1) )/(x_(2)-x_(1) )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3) ← 2 points on the line

m =
(3-0)/(0-(-1)) =
(3)/(0+1) =
(3)/(1) = 3

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 3 ) ⇒ c = 3

y = 3x + 3 ← equation of line
